Barga, its fondest promoters love to say, is a “classic example of a Tuscan hilltown.” But what exactly defines the classic appearance of Barga – or for that matter, Tuscany?
The answer, says an exhibition in the entrance hall of Palazzo Pancrazi, home of Barga’s municipal government, is not...

Today is the final chance to pick up an art bargain from Casa Cordati as the exhibition SOLD OUT goes into its final day. Specially printed leaflets were distributed in Barga this weekend featuring some of the art on sale in the gallery. The leaflets resembled quite closely the advertising leaflets...

The two artists featured this month at Barga’s Casa Cordati couldn’t be more different, apart from a peculiar common element in their work: faces. Or more properly, facelessness. The point is inescapable in the men and women who populate Fabrizio Da Prato’s canvases. They are presented...

After a gap of almost 5 years since they were painted, the “Mutande of Barga” will be once more in public view and maybe this time they won’t cause quite such a scandal as the last time they aired. The Mutande of Barga - The Knickers of Barga, are a series of large oil paintings...

The artist Keane has been working on the same theme for the past two years. The work is based around a small group of people who have been living and working in Barga for generations, but now as a group are close to extinction – the nuns of Barga.

Three weeks ago during the night, a couple of painted nuns appeared on a wall on a disused building in Barga Vecchia.
